Why We Love It:
The Sea Island Selvedge is a 12oz Japanese selvedge denim crafted from Virgin American Sea Island Cotton—the most luxurious denim we’ve ever produced. Sea Island Cotton is an ultra-rare Extra-Long Staple cotton. Renowned for its silky luster, uniform texture, cashmere-like softness, and exceptional durability, this cotton has a rich and storied past. Originally cultivated in the West Indies in the 1600s, it was once so coveted that British royalty tried to keep it exclusive. In the 1800s, seeds made their way to the American colonies, but a devastating beetle infestation nearly wiped it out in the 1920s.
Fast forward to 2015…. seeds that were tucked away in a seed vault are plated in Texas and New Mexico. This American-grown strain, genetically identical to the original variety, is now being used by select Japanese mills, including ours. Inspired by 1920s-era denim, this fabric offers a glimpse into an alternate history. What if Sea Island Cotton had become the standard? Imagine a world where silky-soft, ultra-durable jeans was the norm!

Orders shipping to USA
Orders being shipped to the United States are not exempt from "tariffs", however, the "de minimis exemption" allows for orders under $800.00 USD to enter the United States tax & duty free.
The current administration in the United States is attempting to remove the "de minimis exemption", which if successful, would result in our US based customers paying a 25% tariff, sales tax, and brokerage.
No word yet on when this change may take place. All fees related to tariffs, duties, and brokerage are the responsibility of the customer.
